Amazon Product Analytics refers to the measurement, analysis, and interpretation of data related to the performance of a product listed on the Amazon marketplace. It moves beyond basic sales figures to provide a holistic view of a product’s health and opportunities for optimization. This data is primarily sourced from Amazon’s own Seller Central and Vendor Central reports. Key metrics include: Traffic Metrics: Sessions (number of visitors) and Page Views, which measure visibility and interest. Conversion Metrics: Unit Session Percentage (conversion rate), the number of Units Ordered, and the Buy Box Percentage. Financial Metrics: Total Sales, Average Selling Price, and Refund/Return Rate. Advertising Metrics: (If using Amazon Advertising) Impressions, Clicks, Click-Through Rate (CTR), Advertising Cost of Sales (ACoS), and Return on Ad Spend (ROAS). Analyzing these metrics in tandem is crucial. For example, high traffic but low conversion rate indicates a problem with the listing (e.g., price, images, reviews) or that the wrong kind of traffic is being driven. A low Buy Box percentage directly cannibalizes sales. Product analytics enables data-driven decisions to improve listings, adjust pricing, manage inventory, and optimize advertising campaigns. It answers critical questions: Is my product discoverable? Is my listing effective at converting visitors? Is my advertising profitable? This continuous cycle of measurement and optimization is essential for success on Amazon.
